Christmas Eve dinner in New York?

My family will be visiting me during Christmas, and I would like to take them to a nice, but moderately priced restaurant for Christmas Eve. I have done some searching, but haven't had very good luck, so I thought I'd ask the Chowhound community.

Firstly, my family's taste is relatively conservative, so some of the more"eclectic" and "peculiar" restaurants (wd~50, and the like) wouldn't go over that well.

Whether or not they have a special menu for the evening is not necessary. However, it would be nice.

A Pre Fixe menu is a major plus.

I am thinking something with a rustic, hearty atmosphere and menu would be really nice...it seems like the type of foods that are appropriate for the time of year and for family to gather around...something that warms the soul on a cold Winter night, which I am sure it will be.

I would like to keep it to about $50 per person for the evening.

So if anything comes to mind, I greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Put jackfruit bacon on your pork bacon or use it as a smoky, salty sub.

Easy Crab Cakes

Crab cakes are so often disappointing -- mushy or gummy, full of starchy filler. But these easy cakes are full of beautiful lump crabmeat, and a light panko coating ensures they fry up crispy and golden brown. Bright, lemony aioli makes a piquant counterpart to the sweet, sweet crab. Read more.

Summer is in full swing, which (hopefully) means trips to the park or the beach. If you’re taking a picnic along, you should know a few food safety rules so you can pack, transport, and eat your meal without the threat of food poisoning. Liz Weinandy
